About this statute

The police director may appoint beach wardens where needed; private shoreline owners may appoint one for private beaches, but the choice needs police approval. During wrecks or danger at sea, the beach warden, police, and nearby people have duties to notify, assist, and secure people and goods. Section 64 requires people to provide transport means, access, storage space, and salvage help in certain salvage situations, with compensation or payment rules set by the police director. The provision governs salvage of stranded ships and wreck goods, giving the police leadership in certain cases and limiting when others may intervene. A salvager must immediately report wrecked goods brought ashore to the nearest customs officer and the police, and hand the goods over as required. Reglerne fordeler bjærgningsomkostninger og bjærgeløn, giver toldtjenestemanden ret til godtgørelse og giver Justitsministeriet/Rigspolitiet visse fastsættelsesbeføjelser; egenmægtig bjærgning af strandet gods kan straffes.
